and your surgery protests in greece are turning violent as the country's parliament backs a new round of stinging spending cuts. i want to direct transfer kicks off in china as president here's a towel and most of the current leadership referred to step down like younger leaders developing countries powerhouse economy. over the budget bridgend that david cameron and german chancellor angela merkel failed to agree on the east lending plan streets in london.

it's nine am here in moscow are you alive with r t and top i must say anger and violence have spilled over onto the streets of athens with police using tear gas and water cannon against greeks protesting dry konya new budget cuts demonstrators hope petrol bombs and stun grenades with more than one hundred detained as the country's parliament pause in a sturdy package aimed at securing the latest bailout are to speed all of our reports from the greek capital. what we have seen though is on the streets of athens we saw a crowd of around one hundred thousand people gather in the square just behind me in front of of the parliament building not quite quickly escalated into violent clashes between police and protesters in a matter of seconds downtown athens went into essentially in an urban war zone for a couple of hours we saw molotov cocktails thrown flash bang grenades used also gas used extensively again here in athens as police tried to calm down protesters

who are extremely unhappy by what they see as unfair measures being taken by the government now also there was one hundred people detained by police five arrests made and we're also hearing of injuries on both sides both the police and demonstrators the greek people undoubtedly very unhappy about what's been signed into law what's essentially happened is that politicians here in greece of voted in order to allow the next round of austerity measures one hundred fifty three m.p.'s voting in favor of these latest austerity measures one hundred twenty eight against and there were eighteen stanchions what the new austerity measures mean though for the greek people is that we're going to see the retirement age rise to sixty seven there's also going to be slashes to pensions and wages and there's also going to be new laws that's going to actually make it easier for employers to fire their stuff

now all of this comes as antonius some are asleep prime minister to make thirteen point five billion worth of say a billion euro worth of savings the reason he had to do that was he was it was demanded of him by greece's three main lenders the so-called troika they said that unless these cuts were made that greece wouldn't get its next round of bailout money that's over thirty billion euros and without that money well. greece was out of the euro essentially and they would have faced a potentially devastating fault so that's what these new austerity measures mean they've been signed into law this is the future for the greek people now. the package is said to be the worst so far in the greek debt crisis so. the cuts will hit for the suffering on ordinary people and that's the situation one changeful but until greece of knowledge is it's bankrupt we already have people killing

themselves in front of parliament in greece you have people that are losing everything and using. the last thing to go i think is going to be you know their sense that they have anybody representing them what so far whatsoever you have this tyranny of the technocrat majority inside greece one hundred fifty three out of three hundred vote more austerity on the people i think it is they continue to lose all hope that they have any control of their own financial destiny whatsoever how can it do anything but you know digress into but potentially civil war the financial health of the country is not going to change for the better until they realize that they are in default they're bankrupt and they tell the banks that are holding their debt and the european union and the e.c.b. and the trail that they are going to default this is what happens if the market caps in there their prospects for a return to a healthy economy has to start with them realizing that they are completely and utterly broke and start over from scratch.

as long as all is over with the greek parliament pawson that also another is only just beginning the german chancellor has visited london that made her a british consul but just as with mercy and agree not to veto plans for the e.u. budgets. and sell bombs reelection to the white house and leaves a israeli leadership wall read about their own political future we explain why in a few minutes.

thursday for the opening of the eighteenth party congress the beginning of a once in a decade leadership transition that will see president hu jintao hand over the reins of power to the next generation of chinese leaders vice president xi jinping widely expected to take over as head of state now the leadership transition quite a complicated process this week the congress party is meeting mostly to select new members for governing committees within the party the most important of those the standing committee of the politburo which is widely expected to be reduced in number from nine to seven to help facilitate easier decision making. will step down at the end of the week as general secretary of the party as i say she jinping widely expected to take over that role and if he does he will then become head of state in march next year when the for parliament meets as i say march two thousand

and thirteen that reform in the build up reforms when the key word in the build up to this meeting it's been a coup or the next quest that analysts and the state media have been saying in the weeks before the opening of the congress and experts and analysts are saying that if the new leadership does not instigate. needed reforms the country's economic malaise is going to continue and that could well lead to social unrest and potentially lead to a threat to the actual part of the party itself when you talk to people here on the streets the biggest concerns at the moment are flailing economy and of the growing gap between rich and poor a lot for the new leadership to do and people here hoping that new guidance will lead to greater economic success. the second largest economy in the world that china is promising to increase its influence all across the claim and as you see

spending something the u.k. parliament does insisting on. further has the tale of the talks. on the surface of it angela merkel's come here to meet david cameron to discuss over dinner the budget meetings are taking place in just a very a week's time and in brussels but of course what you see not very smooth exterior you know the very friendly and shaking hands that hides beneath the surface is very very troubled waters in the discussion you'd expect to run into some more awkward territory mainly being the whole discussion about britain's place within the e.u. itself of course we see a big rise in the and c.e. sentiment recently we've had the british tabloids calling angler merkel the merkel later i mean she's certainly got that aura about her hasn't she she's very much

been seen as heading the drive to all stereotypes and to try and get those countries out of the economic crisis imposing these very very harsh measures on countries such as greece and of course for it in house an escape that with the e.u. budget the e.u. is going to be asking for even more to be contributed to the course it already stands at about a trillion euros so i mean that's a lot to us from a country that is going through a very tough time itself economically she doesn't look like a woman who suffers fools gladly unfortunately david cameron recently hasn't been looking like the strongest of british leaders he's had that humiliating defeat in the house of commons when rebel backbenchers push for their plan they were calling for a real turn cuts in that budget and it raises the wider discussion here of course as we said about britain's place within the e.u.

itself and that is a discussion of that britain is going to have to have at some point so it was angry merkel says are you going to be looking for some form you think if clare. eva stance right now i'm likely that david cameron is actually going to be able to give her that because of course the talk at the moment is nothing much even if britain will have a referendum now when that will happen and until that happens until britain decides he can't really give her much more information than. the lead rather ham from the taxpayers' alliance says britain's special position within the e.u. gives us more cloud when it comes to any squabbles over spending i think across the european union in particular in brussels there is a longstanding appreciation that the u.k. has a particular view on european integration which is not shared by other countries we are also a country which pays far more in to the budget that we get out which puts us in

a strong position but also cost us in the process and those are serious questions as to the deal which we're currently getting within the e.u. terms on the common fisheries policy and in terms of the red tape and regulation and so forth so the whole series of reasons why the u.k. and politicians in particular conservative party parties are not happy with the a weakening court. spurned lover has gone on a brutal killing spree in the russian capital police say a russian lawyer shot six people dead and wounded two others after a bitter breakup with his girlfriend. also online suspected whistleblower bradley manning is reportedly considering a deal to leave over claims the lead diplomatic cables. and a deal to avoid a potential life sentence log on to r.t. dot com to learn more. the syrian rebels could be honored by

the u.k. as the british prime minister is to want to put previously rejected measures back on the table prohibited under the e.u. arms embargo officials are said to be considering whether it could be justified under u.n. resolutions british diplomats already said for talks with opposition military commanders as part of a renewed drive to present this as turkey and its allies including the u.s. are reportedly considering stationing patriarch miss south along the border with syria to guard against the spillover of violence reports suggest that nato is preparing to take responsibility for the point that middle east professor joshua landis from the university of oklahoma says that despite some pretty shoes brock will bomb or will remain reluctant to take decisive steps on syria in the short term. i think the united states is going to approach in the obama administration is going to approach the syria problem with great. great trepidation great care

getting sucked into syria militarily. a bomber has spent most of his first term trying not to do that and there is no reason to think he will get sucked in and so far the syrian opposition has been so fragmented that they don't know how to support it or who to support the syrians of course feel abandoned and they are abandoned the world is not helping them almost no aid is getting in even for the rest. g.'s very little is very little is being done the united states has not committed very much money to this process and part of the united states turns right back to syrians and says you have to get together and organize we can't we can't begin funding militias that may be penetrated by or turned out to be so if the theory is that if they can offer a safe haven to assad he might think of leaving because as it stands right now without a safe haven he would clearly be executed along with his top commanders the problem will be to convince him to abandon ship and to allow all of his top commanders to

be executed in order to save his own life and it's not clear that he will do that. well barack obama and his supporters that home and abroad celebrating his return to the white house the reaction in one middle eastern country is less enthusiastic israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who had openly back to obama's rival mitt romney during the election campaign and he said the president a shot message of congratulations it seems that you know was a history of strained relations with obama could now backfire i thought his policy airports. from this. to this. it was never a secret who the israeli prime minister wanted in the white house the often public spats between his government and the obama administration of a palestinian peace talks and iran's nuclear program did nothing to advance american israeli relations and only a mosque the two leaders personal dislike for each other we are the junior partner

in this relationship both men want to succeed they need to cooperate in order to succeed and i think it's not it's not an insurmountable challenge for nothing you know to fix the relationship but he has some fixing to do relations between the two countries are at an all time low and most of his radio americans were also hedging their bets on the republican candidate of the roughly eighty thousand who voted from israel four in five voted romney these few got up early to watch the results obama can be harsh because the structure of israel because he doesn't have to worry about reelection anymore and the time euro has to do with obama's tells in many aspects because israel is dependent on america for allies or for support the war in the interest of. the pressing issue now is what is a bomb is victory mean for israel's foreign policy after all netanyahu saw in mommy

and i someone here greet with on most issues including what to him is the most urgent stopping iran's nuclear program netanyahu is trying to convince the world to strike iran a position that until now obama has not supported the question is will israel go it alone in order to destroy completely destroy iran's nuclear weapons capability i think you need. many many strikes over an extended period of time only one country in the world that is capable of doing it in. and i don't think we will do it this is the united states of america and without u.s. backing netanyahu is in a corner we risk a strike back down from his well mongering neither position puts him in a good light the prime minister is going to have to readjust recalibrate you know some of his positions and so his feelings towards the in general second term

presidents are not particularly good for israel because a lot of put focus on the israeli palestinian. issue and they put unnatural pressure on both sides to make compromises which are like good for either side because they don't have to be reelected and looking more towards legacy netanyahu took a gamble by so openly favoring romney welcoming him in israel during the election campaign and appearing in republican campaign ads that one of the dice could now backfire as these radio elections quickly approach and the ten year himself will be fighting for another term in office. r.t. . washington has so far refused to back israel's belligerent stance on iran then now many see obama's when as an opportunity for new talks what's to run on its nuclear energy program but independent researcher and write us or as a puppet believes hopes for progress could be discussed. mr obama is

the public diplomacy face the soft power face it's the united states in a sense and america's ability to pursue its foreign policy is my strong under obama than it would have been under a romney mr obama in two thousand and six when he was in june iest and i said he had a he underwrote very strict sanctions against iran and his sole goal was to show the world that america is willing to engage iran could and he would have put and such a hard preconditions would have been put on these diplomatic talks and engagement with iran would be forced to reject them why showing that he is a person that is going to multinational talks he would bring on board the reluctant allies which were really tired of war and talks for absolutely bush administration

so he's very clever of his foreign policy goals are not any different than the previous administration is just forming slag to add accomplishing his goals i hope that iran will cooperate as much as it can and has done it in the past but if the whole issue that is being discussed here is that iran is a mute clear program that america knows well is iran does not have a nuclear weapons program and i think your viewers should know there's a iran didn't find it want to have a bomb a nuclear bomb it would follow the path of south africa apartheid south africa which got its nuclear bombs with help from israel without an operating nuclear power plants so i don't believe that iran would intentionally put this off in the spotlight the subject is solved sanctions. so that he can guide the world and allow them to and in reality pursue

a bomb that is not in was in tears as iran has. does need its nuclear power and it needs the medical isotopes. of the world's news this hour an explosion in pakistan has left at least one person dead and fourteen others injured witnesses say a suicide bomber rammed a truck loaded with explosives into the headquarters of local security forces in corruption the powerful blast a collapsed part of the building and triggered a fire which took over an hour to bring under control of the suspected taliban attack occurred as the city rose dozens of foreign delegates at a defense exhibition. at least forty eight people have been killed so many more missing after a massive effort quake hit guatemala landslides blocked emergency access to some areas while as many as forty homes have been severely damaged but tremors were also felt as far away as mexico city n. l. solve the doe. the innocence of muslims
